I had to recently replace my beloved ER charge pipe with a VRSF pipe due to relocation inlets and relocating the expansion tank with a replaced 335D tank. The intercooler silicon coupler 2.75 to 3 inch 45º unit was garbage... and would smoosh with the lightest of finger pressure. So I ordered two different hose companies: Silicone Intake Hose and Intake Hoses LLC.
First off, both hose companies had superior hoses compared to the junk hose that VRSF supplied. But the best and most heavy duty hose goes to Intake Hoses LLC.
Their hose was VERY firm and in addition to 5 visible thread layers, and the silicon in between those thread layers, there was also an orange interior silicone layer that capped off the inside and made it ultra smooth with zero surface imperfections. This was impressive considering the other hoses had weird textures and production scarring inside the hoses.
If you want a foolproof hose that ain't gonna burst and will have maximum pressure flex resistance during high boost... get the hoses from the INTAKE HOSES LLC.
I think they are even better than the stock Wagner hoses that come with their intercoolers...and WAGNER has totally badass hoses. And the Wagner replacement hose kit for their EVO series intercoolers costs $150 for two damn hoses... shhhyyyyyyyyyyyiiiitttt.....
